This study investigates teaching difficulties and coping strategies of teachers in inclusive preschool classes. We examine the differences between difficulties and coping strategies based on teacher background variables. The study used survey served a research instrument. Participants were randomly selected from inclusive public and private preschool classes from the last 2 years. Data were analyzed by frequency, mean, standard deviation, t test, and one-way ANOVA. The results show the following: (a) Preschool teacher teaching difficulties and coping strategies for inclusive education are of a moderate to high level. (b) In the teacher self-evaluation, areas of difficulty with the highest mean values are curriculum and teaching; the coping strategy with the highest mean value is resource application. (c) Variables that significantly affect teaching difficulties are special education background, teaching experience, teaching areas, and children with disability experience. These variables also significantly affect coping strategies in inclusive classes. These findings lead to practical recommendations and suggestions for preschool institutes and future studies. |
